I recently received my auto-ship Anna Griffin Beribboned dies. I must say they are beautiful. I have been busy with other things so didn't get to use them until last week. They make some beautiful backgrounds. This is one of them.

Card supplies:5X7 card base. I used shimmer paper behind the frame.Embossed card is from an AG Mix and Match Christmas FramesI think this turned out beautifully. Thank you for coming by today. I will be posting more of these die cut cards in the next few day.

We began a new Mod Squad Challenge this week. Angie Cimbalo and I are the hosts. "Halloween Fun" is the theme. All you have to do is make a fun project with Halloween on it. As usual we have 2 lovely sponsors, KatScrappiness andSparkle n Sprinkle, along with 2 great prizes. So you will want to enter. You may enter as many as 3 times.This is my card. I have to tell you this card was outside my comfort zone. I don't normally make Halloween cards but thought I would give it a go.

This file prints a watercolor flower picture but I felt it was too light for the card so I printed another flower group from the AG Vintage Florals digital cartridge. Also, I changed the salutation from Thank you to Happy Birthday. Have you tried the Make It Now projects. There are so many fun things to make.Thank you for stopping by today. I hope your week is extraordinary. May the love of God surround you and hide you under the shadow of His wings. Psalm 91:4 says, 4He will coveryou with His pinions,And underHis wingsyou may seekrefuge;His faithfulnessis a shieldand bulwark.I'm so thankful for that refuge He gives us.

It's mid-month posting for the DS4J October Challenge. Our theme this month is "Make Your Own Background". Now you might be thinking, "I'm not good at making backgrounds". Making a background doesn't have to be hard. You can use a doily, a die cut or an embossing folder(which is what I did) or any number of things. Team B has created a lot of pretty inspiration for this phase of the challenge and I hope you will join us. Be sure to visit here for more inspiration and information.This is my design team card.

I always enjoy your comments.It's hard not to see God as the colors of fall start emerging; the beautiful golds, oranges, reds, so many hues and shades. I love Fall, the cooler nights and pleasant days. Not too hot and not too cold. Fall is our respite from the hot days of summer, here in the south. How marvelous are your works, O Lord. Psalm 8:3King James Version (KJV)

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

I have another card for you today from the AG Christmas Cards 2 cartridge. You notice the card and the embellishment have the same patterns. However, I did not cut all the layers for the card. I chose each layer in Cricut Design Space, changed them from a cut file to a print file. The file comes into DS grouped with an envelope. I didn't make the envelope. I ungrouped the file, then deleted the envelope. I then highlighted the card and "attached" it together. This made it a print then cut file. If I had not attached the layers together, DS would have printed all the layers.I did cut all the layers for the center bells embellishment and attached it with foam adhesive.

This cartridge has so many pretty cards & embellishments on it. I think it was worth the investment. It's on HSN and it comes with a $10 digital credit on Cricut.com.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope your day is filled with peace.

I want to thank God today for His Faithfulness. There's a scripture in Lamentations that says, Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23) When we started our blog, we decided on Daily Grace Creations for a name because we experience God's Grace & Mercy new every morning. I thank Him so much that each day is a new start.

My card today is another Christmas card. I love to make Christmas cards. I'm sure I have enough made for this year and then some. But when I come across beautiful embossing folders and files in a cartridge that compliments the folder, I have to make a card.

Card Ingredients:5X7 card baseEmbossing Folder - Poinsettia Blooms from AG Holiday Seasonal Embossing Folders. Poinsettia - File from Anna's Christmas Card 2 CartridgeBoth of these items can be found at this time on HSN. Search Anna Griffin.Thank you for stopping in today. I hope your weekend is extremely pleasant. I want to start a process of consciously thanking God for something each day. Today, it's life. Life is so precious and we take it for granted. I know I have lived more days than I have left and I truly thank Him for these days. Today, a dear friend of mine lost a granddaughter at the young age of 18. She and her twin sister were in an accident. Please pray for this family and be thankful for your life God has given you.
